Which consequence results when high sustained shear forces disrupt thixotropic bonds in drilling mud?

💡 Explanation

Depleted attractive forces cause the gel structure to break down exhibiting shearthinning, because this reduces viscosity, and therefore the hydrostatic borehole pressure decreases, leading to potential influx, rather than stabilised pressure.
